= The 'Auspicious Valley' is where the Prophet had
his first divine revelation from the angel Gabriel

4) [he] can never become
erased,
the Muslim man, for

mi;T
nahii;N saktaa kabhii mard-e musalmaa;N , kih hai

from his calls to prayer is revealed
the mystery of Moses and Abraham

us
kii a;zaano;N se faash sirr-e kaliim-o-;xaliil !

= The mard-e musalmaan is definitely masculine;
unlike insaan or (in traditional usage) aadmii ,mard doesn't include women. Iqbal had very little
to say about women, and literally nothing to say
to them (or to non-Muslims, for that matter).

= kaliimull;aah
, the 'Speaker with God', is Moses;
and ;xaliilull;aah , the 'Friend of God', is Abraham.

arbaab-e ;zauq , faaris-e maidaan-e shauq

his wine is pure,
his sword is well-made

baadah
hai us kaa ra;hiiq , te;G hai us kii a.siil !

8)
he is a soldier,
his every atom is 'la-ilah'

mard-e
sipaahii hai vuh , us kii zarah laa-il;aah

in the shadow of the sword
his refuge is 'la-ilah'

saayah-e
shamshiir me;N us kii panah laa-il;aah

= 'la-ilah'is the beginning
of the Muslim
confession of faith, 'There is no God but God,
and Muhammad is the Prophet
of God'.
